When a sniper gunner of IL-2 1946 kill me i love CloD more.

Simple as that. It's evolution baby!

[GF_Mastiff]

I have a sneaky suspicion that were are going to be paying for a new version and the first release was just that, a beta.

The next evolution release will have 2 maps, Channel map, Northeastern front and more planes and better graphics.

Having read the original post and Luthiers subsequent comments I'm not impressed. I might be less vocal than others round here but I look behind me and see every IL2 sim released, all bought asap and top dollar, in addition to that I don't know how many copies of 'old IL2' I have bought as gifts but its got to be double figures.

I will not buy a sequel to this game unless it is so cheap it falls in the same category as throwing an impulse bar of choclate in the basket on the way out of the supermarket and I see I am not alone. On that basis this company has a problem, and a big one at that.

Nah, I bet you'll buy it the first change you get "IF" the reviews are positive. Oh, and you'll pay top dollar for it! Just like myself and all the other flightsim junkies out there.

Game Computer $1500
Hotas Warthog $500
CH Pro pedals $100
Track IR4 $120
3x22 inch monitors $900
CH trhottle Quadrant $120
Cambridge soundworks 7.1 surround sound $200

Bitching about the $50 we're being charged to play the game we plundered our kids college funds for...Priceless! (I know, I know, I bitch with the best of em.)

Merry Christmas to the 1C team and the fellow sim junkies out there!

Its unfortunate the new game engine is taking so long to get right, and has certainly garnered alot of hate. Once the game engine gets sorted everything should start falling in place and the hatred wane.

Amen BigC
I got $5K in this rig, cockpit and controllers.
I'd pay $500 bucks a copy if it delivered everything that was promised/expected.

Put it into perspective

Spent nearly £3000 in total to play IL2 CLOD. Not interested in WW1 or modern air warfare so actually I can bitch because it's not the $50 I feel I've wasted but the £3000!!

The absolute priority should be a hot fix for the memory leak to get things started, we shouldn't wait for other content just get that done asap because at the moment many of us cannot fly long missions. My experience with the JG27 CO-OPS was 3 early crashes out of 3 Missions flown which was very disappointing. Sure I can fly dogfight server but I am not into that. Then there is offline play which is utterly hideous, tried again last night and the AI is terrible. So there is limited scope for fun at the moment.

My main bitch is that after years of flying in a theatre I am not 100% interested in i.e. Eastern front and then Pacific I was really hoping for BOB and then expanding on to the Med or Battle of France or even fighting over Europe.

Really it feels like MG dipped their toe in to the BOB only to go straight back to stuff covered extensively in the IL2/FB releases. I really wanted to see more time spent on a theatre I am very interested in. I am sure many others feel the same.
